Project description:Nucleotide excision repair (NER) is the major DNA repair pathway that removes UV-induced and bulky DNA lesions. There is currently no structure of NER intermediates, which form around the large multisubunit transcription factor IIH (TFIIH). Here we report the cryo-EM structure of an NER intermediate containing TFIIH and the NER factor XPA. Compared to its transcription conformation, the TFIIH structure is rearranged such that its ATPase subunits XPB and XPD bind double- and single-stranded DNA, consistent with their translocase and helicase activities, respectively. XPA releases the inhibitory kinase module of TFIIH, displaces a ‘plug’ element from the DNA-binding pore in XPD, and together with the NER factor XPG stimulates XPD activity. Our results explain how TFIIH is switched from a transcription to a repair factor, and provide the basis for a mechanistic analysis of the NER pathway.

Project description:Transcription-coupled nucleotide excision repair (TC-NER) is promptly triggered by 'local' elongating RNAP II molecules encountering DNA adducts such as cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPD) induced by ultraviolet light and speeds up removing and repair in transcribed loci. Genome-wide measurements have revealed a dramatic shutdown of global transcription with a few exceptions of individual genes that are consequently highly upregulated by DNA damage. Deciphering the underlying mechanisms of the multifaceted transcriptional response always comprises one of the most fascinating frontiers in DNA repair research. Recent reports have revealed that persistent RNAP II initiation at the transcription start site of active regulatory regions with the continuous synthesis of start-RNAs guarantee sufficient scanning and repair of the whole transcribed genome, although transcription elongation drastically slows down shortly after genotoxic stress. Furthermore, a recent study found that RNA is extremely rapidly m6A methylated by METTL3 in response to UV irradiation which is crucial for recruitment of Pol k to DNA damage sites and subsequently mediates TC-NER. Together, these findings substantiate the molecular processes underlying the transcription-coordinated cellular response upon genotoxic stress might be more complex than previously believed. Unfortunately, all these findings merely focused on the early phase of recovery (within 4 hr after DNA damage). It remains to be determined how accessible chromatin reconfigures and regulates transcriptional programs in UV-induced DNA damage repair. It is also unclear whether the dynamics of gene expression are associated with other epigenomic reconstruction events such as global DNA methylation and demethylation. Moreover, the roles of internal messenger RNA modifications like N6-methyladenosine in TC-NER are poorly understood. Our integrative analyses provide a comprehensive view of the spatio-temporal chromatin configuration and epigenetic characterizations that accompanies TC-NER.

Project description:Numerous long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are generated in response to external stimuli, but the scope and functions of such activity are not known. Here, we provide insight into how the transcription of lncRNAs are connected to DNA damage response by identifying a lncRNA ZFAS1, which is required for cell cycle arrest, transcription regulation and DNA repair. Mechanistically, ZFAS1 facilitates the changing hyperphosphorylated forms of the large subunit of RNAPII around transcription initiation sites by directly targeting the regulated genes. We revealed extensive transcription shutdown and concomitant stimulated engagement of RNAPII-Ser2P are crucial for repair and cell survival upon genotoxic stress. Finally, ZFAS1 knockout in mice dampened transcription-coupled nucleotide excision repair (TC-NER) and led to kidney dysplasia. Our study extends the understanding of lncRNAs in DNA damage repair (DDR) and implies a protective role of lncRNA against DDR-deficient developmental disorders.

Project description:Most genotoxic anticancer agents fail in tumors with intact DNA repair. Therefore, trabectedin, a unique agent more toxic to cells with active DNA repair, specifically transcription-coupled nucleotide excision repair (TC-NER), provides new therapeutic opportunities. To unlock the potential of trabectedin and inform its application in precision oncology, a full mechanistic understanding of the drug’s TC-NER-dependent toxicity is needed. Here, we determined that abortive TC-NER of trabectedin-DNA adducts forms persistent single-strand breaks (SSBs) by blocking the second of the two sequential NER incisions by XPG. We mapped the 3’-hydroxyl groups of SSBs originating from the first NER incision at trabectedin lesions, recording TC-NER on a genome-wide scale. We showed that trabectedin-induced SSBs primarily occur in transcribed strands of active genes and peak near transcription start sites. Frequent SSBs were also found outside gene bodies, revealing TC-NER connection to divergent transcription from promoters. This work advances trabectedin as a tool compound for precision oncology and for studying TC-NER and transcription.
